West Of England Sound was a studio in Torquay, owned and run by Tony Waldron. From 1969 until around 1976 it put out records on the Ra label (q.v.); the West Of England Sound label would appear to have been a successor to Ra, though if it made any records before the Tony Pinkerton EP shown above I have yet to find them. The WE-007 catalogue number hints that such records may exist, but with obscure labels there's always the chance that a '7' in the number may merely reflect that fact that the record is a seven-incher. WE-008 certainly exists; it came out on the Double H label (q.v.). As can be seen from the scan, the Tony Pinkerton EP was issued in 1978. Later that year the studio was bought by Steve Norris and was renamed Swan Street Studios.
